The first-ever book published in NZ about acting technique, 'Acting and How to Survive it' also takes in surviving and thriving in this most challenging and alluring of vocations. Tailored to the New Zealand and Australian actor but with an international viewpoint across TV, film and theatre, here actor, coach and writer Peter Feeney has written an indispensable book for both the beginner and mid-career actor. Here you'll find not just the nuts and bolts of technique, but insights into the head game, winning psychology, and tips on living an artistic life of resilience and integrity. Here is any actors' one-stop shop, a book destined to become a must-have for Drama Schools and classes throughout Australasia - and the world. 'Peter is a very gifted actor who will always be genuinely interested in exploring his work and finding new approaches to it, and opening this out to his fellow actors.' Cicely Berry, OBE, Voice Director, Royal Shakespeare Company.
